The HeavyMetal Project

Put the word in for 5 35x12.5 creepy crawlers. Problem is Maxxis is totally out of stock of these things (as well as many of their other tires), so I have to wait until whenever it is they have them back...but theyll be mine all the same when they are!

Oh, and did this. Herculicious

how often do you plan to run this on the street? i know you have your other car too but if you drive this around alot they will prob wear away quickly

Ha Ha, Thats some decent mileage for those tires.

[HeavyMetal]

ill give em credit where its due. got em april 2007, DDed a Lot for 2 years and then drove to the trail/around after that.

Where/Who are Maxxis tires made?

Are they a stand alone tire manufacturer, or do they sub it out to a major brand? For instance Nitto tires are owned by Toyo But made in the USA where as Toyos are made in Japan.

Maxxis runs their own deal, theyre HUGE (22,000 employees)

based out of asia, but obviously have a large american operations presence

i am not sure where their plants are for specialty tires like creepies

[ct67_72]

MAXXIS is the american subsidiary for nankang tire co. which I believe is out of tiawan.
They used to make bike tires (think BMX) and I remember when maxxis came out for that.
looks like from their website that the creepys are made in shanghai china. at least from what I can tell.

[Ruepart Hoaxley]

They still make bike tires, I have a set of Maxxis Minion DHs for my MTB.
